SEVERN, Md. (WJZ) — Anne Arundel County Police are searching for the dangerous armed robbers who are luring their victims using fake ads on Craigslist. In the latest incident, the gunman shot up a victim’s car.

Meghan McCorkell has more on the escalating crimes.

There’s been two Craigslist robberies just this month. Police believe the same suspects may be responsible.

A Craigslist ad for a dirt bike lured two victims to an isolated section of Old Camp Meade Road in Severn last Sunday. When they approached a home, two armed men came out of the woods. As they fled, the gunmen opened fire, hitting their car.

Police believe this incident is linked to another Craigslist robbery also involving a dirt bike ad that happened May 3 on Oriole Court. A 24-year-old man was robbed by gunmen as he responded to an ad.
